Emerging from the shadows of their secret command outpost in the war-torn city of Aleppo, these members of an all-female fighting unit posed for portraits. Their testimony speaks of the wrenching violence of the now two-year-long Syrian uprising.

Great. Women can just as harmful as men! That's the kind of 'equality' the System's of Power like!

Chimes in with States arming one side against another in 'civil' wars, claiming that will reduce the violence and bring peace and democracy in the long run, because "we're worth it!" (Madelaine Albright's infamous comment..).

Omg these chicks are ugly. Oh wait u can't see their face. That's a good thing. So these 9 woman have a combined total of 3479 kids. Awesome, forget the bread line, come to America and join the welfare line. Lmao

This is as far from Islam as one gets (and I'd like to know how this particular terrorist can fire her weapon, or see what she's firing at. Oh, wait. She shoots blindly, killing at random).

Leave it to Time, a magazine with a history of fascists as its "men of
the year," to romanticize yet another killer. How about a touch of
truth, here, at least in the comments' section. This is no "civil
war." It is a proxy war, a coup attempt, funded by
US/UK/France/Saudis/Qatar, with savage mercenaries trained in Jordan and
Turkey.

A monochromatic photo! The editors of this page must be so proud and romantic also. Freedom and liberty in reverse is acceptable to the imperialists subject to the "country".. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

@MaryWoodward I don't think Islam was ever mentioned. It was all about being oppressed and humiliated. And fighting back against a cruel regime.

Going by your logic, America would be the anti-Christ, where the right to own assault weapons is greater than the lives of children, rapists who publish their exploits online, invasion and murder in other countries. And where poor are left to die of illness.

I'm sure too that the Saudis arranged for the regime to abuse these women, so they would be angry enough to fight back.

@MaryWoodward how much do you know about Islam anyway to say this is far from it? You bigots need to make up your minds. Is Islam about killing enemies (in which case the women are right) or peaceful (in which case they

@FordHawk123 Yes you are right. In America and the rest of civilized world, the police and law enforcement forces will tolerate a bearded terrorist with an AK-47 or a pickup truck equipped with a heavy machine gun. Eliminating them is a violation to human rights and violates freedom of speech.

@TizzAlNabi The basic benefit for the contribution of women in FSA is to release the sexual tension of "Mujahidin" after issuing a "Fatwa" to allow that. Recently, arms and women are being shipped to the "rebels" together.

@dinsel@JohnPoyhonen I have, not to trust what the media is pumping out at face value. Hadn't the Bush's Iraq wars taught you anything? Wasn't Karzhai in Afghanistan sold as a savior and hero of democracy in our press? I will wait till the dice settle before I count the dots.
